Kevin Kisner kept up his impressive debut in China with a six-under-par 66 that gave him a two-shot lead over Russell Knox at the HSBC Champions in Shanghai. Kisner never saw the Sheshan International course until the opening round because of a sore back.

■ Angela Stanford and Ryann O’Toole shared the lead at seven-under 65 in the L.P.G.A. Tour’s Toto Japan Classic in Shima.

Ai Suzuki was a stroke back along with Ha-Neul Kim, Ilhee Lee, Jenny Shin and Mi-Jeong Jeon.

■ Roberto Castro shot a five-under 67 to take a four-stroke lead in the waterlogged Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Miss. Castro fought through several distractions in the second round, including a nearly five-hour rain delay and a sting from a yellow jacket.

■ Michael Allen made a 30-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18th hole to take a two-stroke lead over Bernhard Langer in the Champions Tour’s season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship in Scottsdale, Ariz.
